Hi man.

1. I 've made a full tutorial for building a node on RPi 4B+, but should be the same on RPi 5. My setup is full gui-less though.

2. Another gui-less tutorial is the famous RaspiBolt. Incredible tutorial but more technically advanced.

3. Lastly, from the plug-and-play suites, I love Start9. You can just let it run bitcoin core and nothing else.


to be honest, if you 're a little geeky, you'll enjoy option (2) more than anything.

What is better to use the debian verison or Ubuntu operating system?  Thanks so much for all the help learning something new every day!!

Go for raspberry Pi's OS because it's meant to work perfectly with the hardware. Careful, if you follow my option (3),  it's the only option in which you don't have to choose an OS because it's already pre-installed on Start9's image.

I found some on youtube but there using some other software (umbrel) and sites not from the bitcoin.org website. Iam confused on what is best.

What is best depends on what you need. Umbrel is linux distro which install and configure many things for you, while using bitcoin.org or bitcoincore.org means you do it manually.

If anyone can direct me to a tutorial that would work with my hardware please let me know Thanks for any help!!

If you don't need very detailed guide, check https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#linux-instructions. Just make sure you download ARM Linux 64-bit version.
